ELLE 18 GLOW FOUNDATION REVIEW, SWATCHES AND FOTD

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to review the ELLE
18 GLOW FOUNDATION. I usually like experimenting with different types
of compacts, lip-glosses, nail-polishes, etc but I've never tried experimenting
with a foundation and to be honest I didn't risk using a foundation fearing how
it will react with my skin. The very few FOTD I did, you'll se that there is no
mention of any foundation. This is the first time I took a chance and bought
this product. Well, so let's see how it turned out.

ELLE 18 GLOW FOUNDATION is a medium shaded foundation that will go with fair-average skin
tone and I think it will work to an extent for even darker-toned people.

Price: 150/- for 30 g
(that's pretty cheap for a foundation). Available here

Packaging: The product
comes in a black tube the company's name and logo in front and details on the
back. It has pink and white scriptures.

Product: The product
is liquid with a thick texture. It is somewhat dry and not waterproof. It has a
mild fragrance.

My Experience: ELLE 18 GLOW FOUNDATION provides an even coverage throughout the face and blends easily
without leaving any whitish cast. It is not mentioned whether it has a SPF or
not. The product is a thick liquid. It has a sweet and mild fragrance. It
provides an even-toned complexion. It does not give any artificial, extra
glowing skin but provides a natural glow. The negative point is that it is not
waterproof and it do not moisturises the skin but leaves a dry one. So, I'll
suggest using it with a moisturiser. But you will need a concealer for covering
major imperfections. It also leaves some residues and minor patches. Another
thing I personally felt that it should be available in more than 1 shade. It
remains long if not washed or sweated.

Pros:

1.Extremely cheap.

2.Mild fragrance.

3.Evens skin tone.

4.Blends easily.

5.Gives a natural glow.

6.Do not leave whitish cast.

7.Cute packaging.

Cons:

Non-waterproof.

Somewhat dry

Does not moisturises

Available in only 1 shade

Unable to hide major imperfections.

Leaves minor patches and residue.

Rating: 3.75/5

The ELLE 18 GLOW FOUNDATION is overall a
good foundation for its price. It is good for daily use or in just a casual
hangout with friends. It does not give any unnatural glow, neither leaves a
whitish cast. If used with a moisturiser it will mark up your expectations.
This foundation really left a good impression on my mind. So, no fears just try
it out!!!!!
